So my beta reader for the Big Fics is an astrophysicist, right. Who is currently also writing a hard sci-fi novel about the exploration of Phobos (more power to them, I cannot with the physics required for that, best I can do is soft sci-fi/fantasy and that reminds me I should finish that story).

Anyway I was bitching about how hard it is to come up with feasible planets in Star Wars because sometimes you need a new planet from scratch and sometimes you need to know more about a planet than the 'has jungles, is probably a moon technically' than Wookieepedia will give you, and they're like 'oh yeah I can do something about that'.

So they've written (in Matlab but they swear it will run as a .exe as well and I may be conscripted to embed it as a web tool at some point) a star system generator.

You input what you know about the planet (ecosystem, population, sun colour, does it have liquid water, does it have a moon or moons, is it a moon or moons, temperature averages, atmosphere, you get me) and it will give you the... everything else about the star system, in obedience to real-universe physics. And if you input nothing you get a randomly generated star system.

And I’m like oh I know people who will be into this with a vengeance, and they're not on Tumblr, so this is me seeing who exactly would be keen on, and I cannot stress this enough, a real-physics comprehensive star system generator.

It's still in the debugging phase (last error fixed: every planet wants to have a population of exactly 5000 regardless of other factors, turned out to be a missing equals sign somewhere), but I'm psyched for this and trying to gauge interest for how high a priority 'make this an accessible web tool' needs to be.

Reblogging to drag this project over here, this is killing my notes on main so I'm giving it its own URL. Follow over here for updates on the star system generator and only the star system generator, and not on my Star Wars bullshit.

Will go through and tag interested parties when things calm down below 100 notes an hour.

the GAR command structure was specifically created to torture any fan who might ever dare to try writing fic about the clone wars

[cacodaemonia]

Ah, the eternal Clone Wars struggle. I haven't been super active in the fandom on Tumblr for a few years, and I'm sure that links to my ridiculous flowcharts haven't made the rounds in a while, so maybe they'll be helpful to newer fans.

Bear in mind that they're my best attempt at interpreting massive amounts of often-contradictory information. I also created these in 2020, so there have probably been some changes to canon since then.

Anyway, here ya go:

been watching the originals for the first time and this was what i thought of when i got to this bit

wind kept knocking my power out today so i had to draw this stupid bit out on PAPER

Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Clone After Midnight) 🪩🕺

I decided to do something a little bit insane. I sat down and typed every word spoken in revenge of the Sith so I could then hand write every word to create this scene redraw. I am very pleased with the final result I’m not gonna lie.

Got bored, drew Kix with passenger pigeon wings. Given that the passenger pigeon also went from millions to one individual, I think it fits.

bad star wars oc idea: a sith who finds out that the jedi think falling to the dark side shows weakness, and gets so pissed off that they insist on returning to the light solely to prove they can

[starpeace]

sith: i will destroy you. i am stronger than you will EVER be

jedi padawan they captured, panicking: oh yeah? then how come you aren’t even strong enough to come to the light? huh? checkmate, buddy!!

sith:

sith: fuck

[verybadatwriting]

wait no this would be so funny

[ameanstoanendor]

Kix sees Kylo Ren at some point in the future and he just keeps comparing him to all the Dark Siders that were around during the Clone Wars and calling him a loser

[ameanstoanendor]

All of their interactions go like this. Kylo Ren tries to kill him every time he sees him but Kix always survives in increasingly ridiculous ways.
